Settlers History

Prior to the Settlers inaugural season in 2006 owner, Lou Mitchell, had an idea to bring college baseball players from around the country to play in Licking County for the summer. The Settlers play In the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate league, a branch of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball (NACSB). In 2008, the team made Don Edwards Park in Newark, Ohio their NEW home after playing the first two seasons in Granville, Ohio.

The Settlers is a charitable organization focused on providing a fun and safe atmosphere for the Licking County community. The Settlers makes a donation to the United Way of licking County at the end of each season. In past seasons the Settlers have invited the YMCA day camp to a game for a day of fun for the campers.

In the last seven seasons, the Settlers have appeared in four post-season tournaments. The 2012 Settlers claimed the organization's first ever GLSCL championship.
